1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Notifications

To start sending WhatsApp notifications to new users registered on your WordPress site, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform will serve as the central hub for your automation process. First, sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect and access the dashboard.

Once you’re on the dashboard, click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow something relevant, like ‘WordPress to Interact’. This workflow will link your WordPress site with the WhatsApp API through Pabbly Connect, allowing you to automate notifications.

2. Configuring the Trigger for New User Registrations

In this step, you will configure the trigger to detect new user registrations on your WordPress site. In the trigger window of Pabbly Connect, search for and select ‘WordPress’ as the application.

• Select the trigger event as ‘User Registers’ from the dropdown menu.
• Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL. Copy this URL for the next steps.

Now, head over to your WordPress dashboard and install the ‘WP Webhooks’ plugin. After installation, go to the settings of WP Webhooks, click on ‘Send Data’, and select ‘User Created’ as the event. Add the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect here, and click on ‘Add Webhook’. This connects your WordPress site to Pabbly Connect.

3. Testing the Registration Trigger

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to test it. Open an incognito tab and navigate to the registration page of your WordPress site. Fill in the registration form with a test user’s details, including a valid mobile number for WhatsApp notifications.

Once you submit the registration form, return to Pabbly Connect and confirm that it shows a response from the new user registration. You should see all the details you entered, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

4. Configuring the Action to Send WhatsApp Notifications

Next, you’ll set up the action that sends WhatsApp notifications using the Interact API. In the action window of Pabbly Connect, search for ‘Interact’ and select it. Then, choose the action event ‘Send WhatsApp Template Message’.

• Connect your Interact account by entering the secret key from your Interact settings.
• Map the phone number field using the full mobile number received from the WordPress trigger.

Next, enter the template code for the WhatsApp message you want to send. Ensure this template is pre-approved in your Interact account. Finally, customize the message body to include dynamic variables like the user’s name, ensuring each message is personalized.

5. Verifying and Testing the WhatsApp Notifications

After configuring the action, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a WhatsApp message on the mobile number provided during registration.

To verify, check the WhatsApp account associated with the mobile number you registered. The message should contain a personalized greeting and any other information you included in the template. This confirms that your automation is functioning as expected.
